Tag: free pattern

Today is the last day to get a free pattern in the Water Color Blog Hop.

The Water Color Bundle Sale will continue through July 31. You will get 24 designs from some of the best indie designers, plus a page of 8 different gift tags for your handmade items. Retail value is over $90 if purchased individually; this month only you can get all 24 designs with an 85% savings. Wow!!

 

 

Do you ever make a gift, then put it away and forget about it? I like to wrap my items when they’re finished and put them all in the same closet so I know where they are when I need them.

As a special bonus, the Water Color Bundle also includes a sheet of 8 different handmade gift tags.
